Check out this lil' shuffling, pimp-coat sporting McSluggersons. He's all "Luhzadies, I gots the feathers, and the shuffle. And I'm workin' the Nat'l Geo, so you now it's all riiiiight" [Full National Geographic series here.]
Emma S., I recommend working 42nd and Slug Street. Always works for me.

Oh, excuse me. I muse have wandered into psychedelicallybeautifuloverload.com.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: there is more beauty under the sea than we could possibly imagine.
can you hear him singing?
"it's hard out there for a ..."
Wow, I gotta go shoppin' and get me some new clothes.
Nudibranch!
Pimp Daddy's in the house!!
@Polly - Slime Shady! LOVE it!
Too cute, this lil' guy. Love him too!
Puh-leese! You can not be serious! There's a Pixar movie waiting to be created about this li'l dude.
I feel a nerd-attack coming on....here it comes:
Did you know that nudibranchs will swallow sea anenome tentacles and RECYCLE the stinging cells to be used in their own tentacles?
Soooo kewl! (at least I think so) Excuse me as I must re-alphabetize my Cousteau books.
oh my lord, what a fancy looking fella!
Nudibranchs - yay! If you aren't familiar with these fabulously beautiful guys, definitely check out the Nat Geo link. They are mind-boggling!
How beautiful!
The name always kills me.
"I'm nude. Oh, and these are my gills."
Haw haw! He looks like the happiest bunny-mushroom in de world.
Words fail me . . . they really do.
I'm going to have to stare at this guy for a couple of hours. He just too oddly hypnotic as well as (erk?)beautiful
Slug chicka slug slug
slug love! sea slugs are the best. the armored sea snail (with iron armor!) is pretty rad too.
If I ever decided to, ahem, "ho", this would be the ONLY dude I'd deal with. (No weirdness about interspecies anything is connoted). Or maybe I'll just order him a mini cane so that he can properly strut hisstuff!
Woot woot Nat Geo! I am totally forwarding this to everyone at work tomorrow :)
BAhahahahaha, Meg? I cannot take the hilariousness of "Slug chicka slug slug." too awesome!
Huh. I'm dammed. I've seen those blue and orange lumps in aquariums - I thought they were a type of coral, not animules.
Binky, keep the bio-nerd attacks coming--I love this stuff! And Berthaservant, I agree with the beauty under the sea. The beauty anywhere on this planet still amazes me to no end.
I never thought I'd be thinking about a slug as a pimp... but shoot, sea slugs totally deserve to be.
"Slug chicka slug slug"
HAH!
He needs a cane.
@binky mama.....I was organizing my Cousteau books by geographic location when I read your post.....high five nerdy-sistah!!!
A great article... little Hypselodoris (with the olympic torch on his back) is a charmer. And I am happy to discover the "burrowing sea pen" having only previously known the Burrowing Purse Pen.
They totally look fake! Like made out of fimo clay or something!
That's amazing! And gorgeous...
things like this are why I desperately want to learn to scuba dive.
You know, I have a huge fear of slugs and anything that lives on the ocean floor. Any combination of that scares me to tears.
But this guy is just so damn cute that I have to throw those phobias away. Look at him! He's smiling!
he/she is adorables
my favorite colors too !!
42nd street LOL
first i was going to say- 'ok nice photo shoppin'
THEN i studied the situation, and realized, " oh my gosh, its gotta be the cutest, smiliest lil babeh i've ever seen!"
if only i could have one of my own. "i would kiss it and hug it and rub it and love it and call it George and i would never be alone again"
holy cow. meg you rock.
heart ex-splodes.
makes me feel HAPPY! this is really cute :D
Nudibranch!!! I love this story. David Doubilet, the guy who took the photos, shot them as if they were runway models, and they just came out SO freaking cute!! (He had a special plastic underwater studio made just for this. I mean, really. How cool is that??) Yay, it makes me so happy to see this here.
in case you just can't get enough nudibranch now,check out the forum http://www.seaslugforum.net/
Thank you so much for posting this! I am just in awe of the entire photoset at National Geographic. It's completely unbelievable that such things exist!
Two great ideas:
1) Let's all be nudibranches for Halloween! We could each pick a fave, and make a costume, and then post pix.
2) Remember those wonderful dessert jewelry items from ages ago, that someone on Etsy makes and sells? Some enterprising fimo-crafter could make nudibranch jewelry.
NatGeo totally rocks my world. That article was great, as were the pix.
Wheeee, nudibranchs! LMAO @ "Slime Shady" and "Slug Chicka Slug Slug".
I actually typed that as "Smile Shady" - and I'm not far off! He looks like he's smiling!
P.S. The Etsy dessert jewelry can be found at robinsjewelrybox.
wow that is really adorable and beautiful!
Whoo, it's easy to get lost on the Nat'l Geo site. Seeing the pic first, I thought, Granny slug needs a woven purse from The Sac to complete her outfit.
BUT, I tewtelly see this slug big pimpin' and spendin' G's. Anasztaizia is right, he does need a cane. A gold cane encrusted with purple and orange rhinestones on which our jaunty (or garish) slug leans from the viewer's right side.
Wow, Miami Vice flashback!
He totally owns Ocean Ave.

Believe this the proper place to let Kramer out~~~~~.
Sea slugs are amazingly beautiful, for all that land slugs aren't. My favorite one--and I haven't yet checked out the NatGeo link, so maybe there's an example there--is one called the Veiled Dancer. That's just such a beautiful name, and the critter that wears it is lovely too.
oh snap, kramer! way to go, Lone!
This lil dude is just so dang HAPPY!!
Ya know...if the slugs in my yard looked like these beauties, I'd let them eat all the flowers they wanted.
A Nudibranch called Blanch.
Meg,
Just thought you should know, that Hartz ad (the one that shows up in the middle, with the "choose cat/dog") has got some sort of glitch, causing me serious lag on my machine... and I'm a gamer with two CPUs and two video cards, two gigs of ram...
Free me from my lag... the intertube is a terrible thing to waste...
"Come on now, BabY, don u be a playa hata, we all jus pimps an hos ya'll noe...representin' south side straite up my Nudda beotches!"
Is he waving slug 'tocks?
I think I'm A) buying fimo...
(Git yer slug pimp pendants Heeerrre!) B) gonna crochet a few of these... I LIKE knitting tentacles.
What on EARTH is that adorable little biscuit?!? Love him!
